When we talk about supply chain , often SAP and other product implementation is what comes in to mind. What is the scope in supply chain if some one wants to get into a non implementation roles. What are the potential exits and salaries of such roles. I am some one with about 5 years of experience in planning implementation, and currently have an offer from slalom in a non implementation role. I would like to hear from experts on the potential learnings and exits of such roles.

The Supply Chain field is vast.

Easiest way to see non implementation Supply Chain work is process improvement in the Plan Source Make Deliver Return

Or overall strategy development i.e. understanding volatility of demand vs supply and determining policy to align them or manage them. I.e. agile vs lean vs efficient vs flexible.

Figure out process improvement, organization models, long term strategic policy for each of those.

Plan - Demand Planning, Distribution Planning, Channel Strategy, Forecasting, Production Planning, Capacity Planning, Master Scheduling, Materials Requirements Planning , Distributed Demand Planning, Inventory Planning

Source - Strategic Source, Procurement, Contract Management, Category Management, Risk Management, Supplier Relationship Management

Make - Manufacturing, Contracted Manufacturing, Production Scheduling, Production Flow, Queue Theory, Manufacturing Philosophies and Methodologies, Production Planning, Production Control

Deliver - Transportation Managemet, Network optimization, Modal Strategy, Freight Settlement, Container Utilization, Warehouse Management, Packaging Strategy

Return - Warranty management, reverse logistics, scrap strategy, recycle and reuse strategy

Esch one of those is enough to require a life of knowledge of knowledge to be an expert, and I probably missed many. But have a general understanding and be able to speak to them and youll be fine

Supply chain operations and technology are joined at the hip. You aren’t likely to be strong in one without understanding the other.

In planning where you are now, you would logically also understand inventory, production, storage, and other capacity considerations along with general forecast accuracy. It would aldo make sense that you would understand supply chain financial drivers like carrying costs, stockouts, line downtime, oee/utilization, etc.

You could ultimately end up moving into another planning or potentially a finance role outside of SAP in Oracle, Blue Yonder, Kinaxis and other platforms.
